  1. Shocking I tell ya, shocking - although I do wonder if amateur hour is actually the name of his squadron.
     

    Well sounds like there is video so that’s nice. Also an (unsubstantiated) twitter link is guessing a search and recovery operation going on of the coast of Romania. A different link saying Russia has a salvage operation going on off Crimea. I hope we publish the location of the incident.
  2. I would think that Reaper could do maneuvering that would make it very difficult for the jet to literally touch it, like fly close to stall speed or low speed tight turns. Wondering if the Reaper didn’t deviate from course because we wanted to see how far the Russians would escalate/didn’t think they would actually instigate a mid air collision.

  3. If he takes the companies away from a current oligarch, then he can give them to some future oligarch.  If Reuters is correct that Russia is running out of money, maybe this is a shake down of the oligarchs who own the companies - as well as a threat to increase production. 
    Russian for “do something!”, but with the typical threat of bad stuff happening to you if you disobey the Tzar. 

    To me it’s weird because:
    A) nationalizing won’t increase production
    B) nationalizing oligarch’s personal assets may actually get Putin killed
    B) nationalizing doesn’t give him the ability to blame the oligarchs for everything
    C) so if he does nationalize, when things are even worse a year from now, Putin’s fig leaf of plausible deniability will be even smaller and there will be less people to deflect blame to. Bad politik.

  4. Clusterfuck. 
    Love the turret aiming backwards at them. 

    The best part for me is that after the APC doors open, the drone operator waits a few seconds longer than I was expecting to drop the grande. It’s like he was fully expecting the clusterfuck and was waiting for it to fully metastasize before fraging them. A true artist.
